Bio

Jeremy first touched a computer, a Commodore 64, at the age of four. He spent countless hours typing in programs from the pages of RUN and Compute! He later acquired a PC at the age of 13, and subsequently discovered BBSs, FidoNET, programming, networking, and the security world. He was introduced to Linux in 1996 and has been using it since.

As a teenager, he began working for a local consulting company managing HP/UX servers (but don’t bring that up, it still gives him nightmares). Later, he founded a consulting company specializing in implementing open-source solutions (based mostly on Linux) for various clients.

Until recently, he served as a network ninja at a post-secondary educational institution where he routed packets, switched frames, kept a few Linux servers humming along, and occasionally beat a Windows server into submission. He has also designed and taught numerous networking, security, and Windows Server courses, imparting knowledge upon eager minds.

He likes to use Perl to make his life easier. He works smarter, not harder. He’s a Mac.
